Centre for Knowledge and Interaction Technologies

The Centre for Knowledge and Interaction Technologies (CKIT) contributes to the development of the theory, practice and tools applicable to modern, knowledge-based, data-rich, human-centric systems.  As an enabling technology, it both supports activities in other Flinders research areas while at the same time has its own intellectual identity.
